Multiple locations
Wining and dining helps us turn things down a notch in this fast-paced world, so it's nice to see a place that offers varied selections and competitive pricing. These are not wholesale outlets but the prices are reasonable and the choices are vast. The stock includes thousands of wines from around the world, hundreds of beers including the microbrewery variety, and a unique supply of the hard stuff -- 50 different tequilas alone, for example. Town Pump Liquors Inc. was served up second.
Our Pick: LEE'S DISCOUNT LIQUOR
This is not your typical liquor store. At its North Rancho Drive location, Lee's offers micro-beer tastings on Friday evenings, and wine tastings on weekends. There also is an on-site sommelier to answer any questions.
